MANILA, Philippines – Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach finally had her victory walk as she relived her winning moment before her countrymen during the homecoming tribute mounted by ABS-CBN at the Araneta Coliseum.
Wearing her blue Albert Andrada evening gown, Pia took the jam-packed crowd back to her winning moment in Las Vegas as she graciously walked on stage with the coveted crown on her head as if she just won Miss Universe. What made the moment even more special was that she shared the stage with Miss Universe 1973 Margie Moran.
It was indeed a tribute fit for a queen. Aside from Margie, past Binibining Pilipinas winners also congratulated her the likes of Miriam Quiambao, Nina Ricci Alagao, Bianca Manalo, Venus Raj and Ariella Arida.
She was also serenaded by two of the country’s sought after leading men, Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby and sat down with the King of Talk Boy Abunda for a one-on-one interview where she answered questions such as her plans on pushing her advocacies, being friends with other Miss Universe contestants, talking to President Aquino for the first time after she won, thoughts on the LGBT community, and how it was being back home so far.
Other performers that night include Erik Santos, Yeng Constantino, Gerphil Flores, and Jed Madela.
Watch the full tribute dubbed as “Welcome Home Miss Universe: The Grand Homecoming of Pia Wurtzbach” this Sunday (Jan 31) night on ABS-CBN’s Sunday’s Best.
